About this event
David has lived and painted in and around Penzance for several years.
He has a BA degree from Falmouth School of Art in Fine Art and a MFA (Master of Fine Art) degree from Newcastle University. He was an Art Educator for many years. The later part of this was in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. Usually, David returns every year to the UAE where his married naturalised daughter and grandchildren live. His wok is often derived from this experience.
Working thematically, David’s paintings attempt to convey a personal feeling for the figure or environments. This frequently involves a rigorous ‘paring down’ and reworking. Final Images often evolve over a number of paintings. They usually explore an ambiguity that David sees as reflecting the nature of reality and perception. Recent paintings centre mainly around the figure. Although often ‘reworked’ many times, an essential spontaneity and even brevity is aimed for capturing the essential stance and dynamics of the figure.
David is a member of the ‘Penzance Studios’ group and the PZ11 group and Bosulval Studios. . He has a studio at Bosulval, near Newmill which for various reasons is not being used as a venue on this occasion but which may be viewed by appointment.
